Anyone watching the Chelsea United game at 4????

Im a United fan myself and I fear the worst.

brianregan09

Yeah i think this is the game that gives united a wake up call i sense a 3 or 4-0 to chelsea hope not though i'd rather a draw

beakerjoe

United need a walk up call, if we draw or lose 1-0, the powers that be may not invest in the transfer window.

Deadlie

I'm happy enough. Spurs win and Adebayor looks like the striker we've needed for ages. After seeing him today, that AVB sacking just made a lot of sense. Defense was still very patchy at times. Still, best start for a Spurs manager in history (16 pts from 18)

It was 9/1 for Spurs/Chelsea/Everton treble this morning on PP. Was gonna throw a tenner at it, but I've a weird feeling United will pull out the stops for this one.

sky88

United fan as well i also fear the worst maybe sneak a draw

Charisteas

As an Arsenal fan, it's only a matter of time before Man City overtake us, but hoping United can take something from Chelsea anyway. Without RVP and Rooney though, a win is some ask.

Adebayor has to be like Tyson Kidd, most underutilised in the last 6 months. What on earth was AVB thinking, a world class striker there and making him train with the reserves?

He was out of form when he was dropped initially, then his brother died and they were very close. Ade said he fell into a slump and felt it difficult to get motivated again. He was asking for chances to play to prove himself and AVB still didn't want to play him.

Not surprising then that he bounced back. He has to prove himself to all the critics and he's constantly living to do his brother proud, he says.

Fairly happy with the start united have made except for Jones marking of Etoo for the goal.

Awesome second half display by Munster too

Lord TSC

As a United fan, I'm contemplating finding a corner to curl up in and cry.

At least Januzaj looks good....

Still don't get not starting Fletcher either.

Lord TSC

Jones, typically, does a good job man marking the big threats in midfield.

I agree in theory but they r three pronged behind Etoo so let Fletch Carrick and Jones play.

Feck 2-0

Pleased to announce that people weren't lying when they said The Shield is really good. Up to the fifth season now. I've had big spoiler thrown in my direction though by some absolute scumbag. It's one of those situations where it hasn't happened yet, doesn't look like happening for a while, but could be the big finale that everybody says is the best finale ever.

eh i dunno

If I tell you how I got spoiled it would probably re-affirm what you were told. So spoiler tag

it was written about the Wrestling Observer

Diabhal Beag

I'm going to read that in about 3 weeks.

Lord TSC

So the department of education paid my brother for a day he didn't work. €120 quid, minus €40 in tax. So about €80 into his bank.

Now they are on at him to pay it back, which he obviously has no problem with. But on top of paying back €120 (despite not having the tax money), they want him to pay €50 in weird fees as well They want €170 back. Meaning they're trying to charge him for not working.

Our government, ladies and gentlemen.

jaykhunter

Please send that to a newspaper TSC!

Diabhal Beag

Thank feck that spoiler was the finale to season 5 of The Shield.

beakerjoe

Just out of curiousity what was the spoiler you got?

The Series finale is the best in television. It leaves you feeling happy with investing in the show?

They have the best cliffhangers I've seen on TV so I can only imagine how good the ending will be. Should be done by next weekend.

That one an amazingly bad penalty shootout:eek:

Not sure what to make of the Mata signing, quality player but surely central midfield needs help?

Angron

What was there a penalty shoot out in?

eh i dunno

Anyone watch amber. Christ rte owe me 4 hours

Deadlie

I've a photoshoot tomorrow at 6:30 in Dublin City Centre, and I got a call today to say the place I'd booked (a wine cellar type place), had to cancel on me. So I need somewhere kitch/odd in the City Centre that isn't busy and is down for this kinda stuff.

Anyone got any ideas?

League Cup semi-finals. United vs Sunderland.

Shootout ended 2-1 to Sunderland, when United missed 4 of their penalties

Like Batista's return very underwhelming

Lord TSC

As a United fan, can I just say...

Deadlie

He's a quality signing. Champions League football isn't out of their reach yet, this could greatly improve United's chances though. He walks onto that team as one of the top 3 players. Gonna be interesting when the front two are fit and Mata's working behind.

GTR63

Meanwhile Milan sign Essien. Going downhill so fast & with such certainty we are face down in the drain at the bottom of said hill.

Diabhal Beag

6 points off 4th is nothing considering how bad they've been this season. Spurs are no great shakes, Liverpool won't keep their form IMO and as much as I'd love to see Everton get 4th I just don't see them pulling it off.

I know it's great craic to see United struggle but they've had no luck at all. That'll change. Mata might be the man to bring it. Not Luke Shaw though.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm a big fan of Mata. I'm very surprised Mourinho is letting him go. I think he's one of the best players in the Premier League.

Begging for Liverpool to make a signing(a winger, a centre mid or a wing back not like we are Bayern like). Can't be just relying on one of if not the best player in the league to save us every week. If he goes in the summer.....I don't even wanna think what'll happen tbh.

Balotelli and Seedorf have a moment that recounts mid 90`s memories of GTR watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The only high of AC Milan`s season.

Wow 10,000 posts & still my main highpoint was blaming those London riots on the lack of Fresh Prince of Bel Air repeats at the time.

My thoughts on the matter.

:pac:

Omackeral

It's a new show I think. Called Pressure Point. There's 4 competitors and each time you answer a question right, you put a pressure point in the pot. Then you either play or pass. If you play and get it right , another point goes in the pot. If you pass, you assign the pressure point to an opponent. First to get ten pressure points is eliminated. Also, if you answer incorrectly, it's a pressure point to you.

Next round is fastest finger with the final three and last round is a head to head. In gonna go into business for myself and cut a scathing promo if I'm doing terribly
